Ingredients

• 1 package All Beef Frankfurters with natural casings if you can find them
• 1 package poppy seed hot dog buns
• yellow mustard
• sweet green pickle relish
• 1 large chopped white onion

Instructions

• Heat oven to 325 degrees

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, drop in the frankfurters, and boil for 5 minutes.

To Assemble the dogs

• Place the franks on the bun, and add the mustard in a zigzag pattern (no reason, I just like how it looks).
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon of relish along one side of the frank.
• Sprinkle the desired amount of chopped onion over the entire dog.
• Place the tomato wedges on the opposite side of the frankfurter from the relish.
• Add the peppers on the tomato wedges and the pickle spear on top of the relish.
• Sprinkle with celery salt to taste.

Tips and Tricks

• For an authentic experience, steam the poppy seed buns right before assembling your Chicago Dogs.
• Use all-beef frankfurters with natural casings for that quintessential "snap." If possible, use freshly made or high-quality versions of the other toppings too.
• If sport peppers are too spicy or not spicy enough, play around with different types of peppers until you find your perfect match.
